Met Gala 2017

The “Oscars of the East Coast” signals the opening of the Metropolitan Costume Institute’s annual blockbuster show, and it is known for its celebrity and fashion hosts. While last year’s exhibition, “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology,” explored the relationship between clothing and textiles created by hand (“manus”) and machine (“machina”), this year, the exhibition is titled “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between,” The hosts are Anna Wintour, Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen, Katy Perry and Pharrell Williams; honorary chairwomen are Ms. Kawakubo and Caroline Kennedy, the former United States ambassador to Japan. Here are some of the interesting looks of last night’s gala.
